Bitcoin is only new to the newbie

[suryana]

It's all just their unwillingness to learn new things. Such people need tangible evidence in their immediate environment that has been successful in bitcoin. And open their eyes and open their mindset about the real bitcoin. And explain all the differences. If they can't accept it then it's our job to only spread good information. Maybe they are one of the many people who are losing money because they don't want to learn new technology.

I think trust can remedy this thought, I have a friend who is aged and also learned, but he engaged in this popular Ponzi scheme MMM and lost so much to it, and after wards anything online, digital that's finances he is not interested in it and felt same way to crypto-currency, not on till the person he trust guided him, now he is very much into crypto-currency and he is always like an ambassador, those type of people can never be forced, but can be guided by who they trust, like what Elon musk did, many people came into crypto-currency because of the trust they have in his judgment.

With time. Some will attempt to educate themselves online and realize that Bitcoin is not a scam, some will FOMO in at some point in the next huge price rise, while some will pridefully think that Bitcoin is a scam no matter what happens. There are enough material online for Bitcoin education; just let Darwinism take its course.

The education that exists on the internet is not in one place and is spread through the internet. If you have ever tried to explain Bitcoin to someone you need to refer to a place which has all the information in one place instead of trying to find a lot of different sources in different places. I can see why with the lack of a one place solution why people are not adopting Bitcoin because it is a hard subject and without theere being a comprehensive place to read about it they give up. Bitcoin.org is probably the best source but I would like to see more videos explain the technical side of Bitcoin.

In fact, if you look at it so far, most people already know and are quite interested in being on this path but the possibility that makes them still hold back is worrying about losing their money considering that until now there is still news that is not good for cryptocurrencies.
but I think this will be quite good because considering that if beginners jump in without thinking about other things that are a risk this will add to problems such as fomo and hype will be more widespread, besides that it will also be used both for influencers and people who really love the pump and dump line.
this will be very bad for them so while I think it is quite good even though for the future more people will be on this path, that's okay for sure they have to understand at least the basics and techniques when on this path.

If he can trust someone to change his perception on crypto, then that someone might be very effective. I also think its just a matter of self education and once you know already the facts about crypto, you will never be afraid in it anymore knowing its not a ponzi scheme that exists online.

I have encountered lots of people like this. For me, it is important too that we should be there in their learning process not just to guide them, but definitely clear out all negativities that became the barriers of not believing them in crypto.

[Turbolinea]

Some people still claim that Bitcoin is a ponzi scheme and it is just ridiculous to be honest.    I really wonder what makes these people say such things about Bitcoin. One person just makes up some lies and it spreads very quickly among people. If you ask them their reasoning, they won't be able to say reasonable things and I'm pretty sure of it.

And yeah, Bitcoin is new only to the new investors. And that's because they don't have much knowledge about Bitcoin yet. They just hear something about Bitcoin and it can be enough to draw that person's attention there. But as long as they know the importance of doing a research, they will figure out the real Bitcoin easily.

[Rengga Jati]

I am still not surprised that many people leaving in this era still don't know about Bitcoin or digital currencies. I..

Actually, Their ignorance of Bitcoin and other Cryptocurrency makes them sometimes hate Bitcoin.
Because they only see from one side. Moreover, some of them actually asked the law of cryptocurrency to someone who influenced him but the person was not very understanding about Crypto.
So they did not get the right answer. Only actually adds to their dislike of Crypto, especially if it is associated with certain trust. It will be difficult.
Even though they are not people who are blind to technology, even though they may have also begun to use digital currencies, but they still have a negative view of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.

Its more of an ignorance i think. People always draw conclusions without even doing researches at first so they will be able to discover the truth and not just relying on heresays without reasonable proofs. But i know it is only now that they become naive because as time goes if they chose to learn the facts about bitcoin, probably they will understand bitcoin and learn to grab every opportunities with bitcoin.

Time will definitely change everything. And that first impressions on bitcoin about ponzi scheme will definitely won't last. Bitcoin is only new to those who chose not learn from it.

[Rruchi man]

Many still find it difficult to accepting this digital era because of their past experience with internet fraudsters and looters who made many bankrupt when ponzi was introduced. How do you think this stigma can be dealt with and how do we get people out of this so the don't get left out due to their FUD.

First off, i don't think you should over concern yourself too much with preaching about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies to skeptics and those who have written it off, you can simply tell them about it and if possible, suggest a credible website where they can read more about it for themselves. Also such persons often with time have a change of opinion on their own, sometimes influenced by other people's testimony or results, but until that time...do not over stress on it, else they may think you are involved in scam activities as well. The simple truth remains that - Time will tell.

^ The problem with them is lack of knowledge that we should fulfill, we can teach them those who are willing to listen but if those who want to insist, let them free and forget them. Provide some evidence that proves BTC is not a scam. Only those people using BTC to scam others and I hope they will understand this. However, those who are willing to listen are yours, explain to them very well that BTC is not a good source of income, it is a currency that we can probably good alternate to fiat.

I am still not surprised that many people leaving in this era still don't know about Bitcoin or digital currencies. I was discussing with some one about bitcoin and it's achievements over the years and how this past few years has gained massive ROI for investors and he was so concerned about how people got scammed using online platforms giving negative attributes to Bitcoin to him bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme.

Many still find it difficult to accepting this digital era because of their past experience with internet fraudsters and looters who made many bankrupt when ponzi was introduced. How do you think this stigma can be dealt with and how do we get people out of this so the don't get left out due to their FUD letting them settle on their negative notion about crypto generally would only make them aggressive with crypto investors and would still see the world the way men in the 80s saw it with lots of limitations

Well for numerous schemes scattering here and scams are so rampant for sure those people who want to get quick richest but lazy to do research about those multiple scam attempts will became a victim of frauds, I can't blame them if they decide to quit because they had bad experience then talk about bitcoin is scam because they don't understand how they get scam by frauds who use bitcoin for there own schemes.

Yeah many find it difficult to understand since bitcoin is really so hard to learn especially if you don't have anyone teach you about how it works that's why most of the newbies who have 0 knowledge tend to quite because they find it stressful and unworthy since they don't earn fast benefits on it.

[TelolettOm]

the gap about bitcoin is still in doubt by them with the negative fomo that has poisoned them about the digital world but some of them are brave enough to know and try to dive into the digital world of bitcoin and crypto - newcomers - and begin to understand it will be difficult to leave unless he falls into the scheme Ponzi, therefore for those of us who know more to provide knowledge to them so as not to make a wrong step

That is what happens around me.
some times, I was tired of explaining cryptocurrencies to people around me. But in fact, they believe more in media with negative sides of crypto only. And always warn me about quitting this crypto world with their nonsense reasons.
So, if they first don't like Bitcoin and they don't want to open mined with crypto, let it be.
And if there are newbies who don't know about crypto and going to learn about crypto, just let them know and tell what we understand. And one important also never to promise them about being rich soon with crypto so that they will be aware at first.

What we can do is tell them that bitcoin is like fiat, neutral. What made it bad is the people, who take advantage from others with bitcoin and it actually can be done too with fiat.  So no need to blame bitcoin itself as a bad thing, people nowadays only see something and not learn deep about it.

[verita1]

Some who have suffered bitcoin scams are likely to overcome the stigma if they learn to use the technology correctly.
It is not easy to make people understand how to adapt and stay safe after losing money.
We need better solutions and user friendly so investors of all levels from beginners to experts can invest safely.
If we could bring the best information it would be easier so that people without knowledge about bitcoin do not suffer from money losses.

[sherenikaw]

actually we can't force someone to accept or trust bitcoin because I think trusting bitcoin needs confidence from ourselves so that we can manage it well and get the benefits. but if we want to educate them, we can introduce them about bitcoin slowly and little by little, it takes time to convince someone to trust bitcoin. if the way to introduce us about bitcoin is correct then there will be a side of their interest to learn more. So it's not easy to convince someone with the trauma and it all takes time.

Most people are misinformed about Bitcoin, they are more likely to believe the news they read from the local media. Which is where most local media
are usually controlled by the government,  so they report information about Bitcoin according to the opinion of the government. We know
the government is afraid that Bitcoin will replace fiat, so sometimes governments say bad things about Bitcoin. Finally I also experienced what
you experienced, where many in my environment said bad things about Bitcoin, it's because they received the wrong information. Our job is to
educate these people by providing correct information about Bitcoin, but if we find some people are not open-minded, it's best to just let them be.
The most important thing for beginners is to find a trusted source of information,  which is indeed the source of the information knows the crypto
world well. So don't get the wrong information.

[blackened515]

Many of them have at a time been scammed by online frauders and with that experience, they find it difficult to believe anything concerning Cryptocurrency. While a lot of people haven't heard of Bitcoin yet, it sounds strange to them. When I basically want to talk about Cryptocurrency to someone new to it, I often start by explaining in a language they will understand what Bitcoin is all about, when tell them the benefits of investing in Bitcoin. However, I believe with time, majority of the world population will know about Cryptocurrency and how it works.

I want to clarify things about ponzi, with respect on bitcoin there's a lot of schemes that used btc as their mode of investment without even letting the holders handle their asset. What they only offer to somebody was the promises that they'll earn more than their capital, and through huge expectations many innocent people fell on their traps and lost a lot of money.
Newbies without proper understanding what digital currency is, they're more vulnerable from ponzi scheme offerings.

[Wawa2013]

Bitcoin is only new to newcomers because they have less knowledge about the market and are more prone to scammers. Lose everything when you can't choose the right place to invest before seeing this you need to gain experience about bitcoin investment and experience cannot be gained by force unless there is a will. Manage the markets well and analyze which site is better for investing in crypto so that new people can easily learn.

Indeed, the reality is that there are a lot of newbies who are victims of scammers, because they really lack knowledge about Bitcoin. So don't
understand how Bitcoin works, then scammers take advantage of it by offering instant profits. Finally, newbies who don't have experience too,
are more easily fooled, because beginners are still new to the crypto world. Do not understand the dangers of the crypto world without knowledge,
only people who have knowledge can avoid being scammed. So it's best for newbies to learn all things related to the crypto world, before deciding
to invest in Bitcoin.

That's the most passive approach in my opinion but wouldn't it be better if we as a community at least try and continue to educate as much people as we can reach, remember that it's better to move even though you're losing than not doing anything.
